Skipper / Owner: José Furtado

In the middle, Jose Furtado is 58 years old and been an ‘Ocean Skipper’ since 1993. José has been a fisherman all his life and started fishing from the rocks when he was just 3 years old. At the age of 12, he bought his first boat, a Kayak of 3.60 m that allowed him to fish out at sea. At the age of 16 and together with 2 friends, he built a wooden boat of 3.50 m. At the age of 24, he bought and rebuilt an 8.0 m ex-ship lifeboat into which he installed a 22 HP Diesel engine. Two years later, he bought a new boat, a 5.30 m ‘Fisher’ model with a 50 HP engine (the boat in which he caught his first Blue Marlin!). Finally, when he was 35, he acquired the ALABOTE which has become a well reputed and professionally run sport fishing charter boat.

Fished for 2 and a half days with Alabote. The vessel, skipper and crew are top notch. Very experienced, with a very well kept vessel ideal for big game fishing. very comfortable food and drinks on board were excellent. We fished the last day of a 3 day tournament on-board the Alabote and caught the winning Blue Marlin weighing approximately 400 lbs
